BREAKING: All Big 3 networks ABC, CBS, NBC blacked out Trump defense lawyer Pam Bondi's presentation this afternoon of Ukraine corruption related to Joe Biden, son Hunter Biden & Burisma. In contrast, Big 3 carried Schiff's p.m. presentations live, preempting regular programming

Not only that none of them appear to be reporting on the internet as well -- only FOX.  Frustrating.

Here are President Trumps character witnesses, Rudy Giuliani, Viktor Shokin, Lev Parnas, Devin Nunes, Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz and, of course, Vladimir Putin.  Not feeling a not guilty from with this group backing me.

[EdinVA]

This makes no sense whatsoever.

If they put him on the stand, if he is smart, he will plead the 5th to any question.... Graham is salivating over bring him up on charges...

Pam Bondi & Erik Hirschmann are laying it out professionally w/cold hard facts on a corrupt Ukraine gas co, Burisma, run by a corrupt Ukraine Oligarch, Zlovchevsky, hiring the VP’s son, Hunter Biden, for a ton of $ w/no Ukraine or energy experience solely bc of his last name.

If Hunter’s dirty $ Ukraine scheme wasn’t illegal, it should be! VP Biden running for POTUS doesn’t end the scrutiny!

And no one forgets that during an open corruption inv into Burisma/Zlovchevsky, VP Biden threatened Ukraine w/the loss of $1Bil if that prosecutor wasn’t fired.

now that Trump defense team has used impeachment trial to tar the Bidens on Ukraine, remember career US diplomat George Kent’s sworn November testimony

any truth to idea that Biden acted to protect son’s business?

“None whatsoever."

did Biden pursue interests of US?

“He did”

[skeeter]

Now he's torching Obama. This is great.

[libertybele]

CNN, MSN, MSNBC, Yahoo are all focusing on Bolton's book -- as the bombshell.  No reports on Bondi.  Did a google search on Bondi -- NBC has buried the report, but it's there.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

As a matter of fact yes! It happens all the time in fact.  Cases are dismissed for lack of evidence in this country every day I would imagine.

Exactly -- and because the Senate has all the documents and transcripts from the House proceeding, it is in a perfectly capable of looking at that evidence, and deciding if this case warrants dismissal.

Biden is praying they put him on the stand to explain why he was fighting corruption and Trump was encouraging it. R's would be NUTS to call him, but it would be highly entertaining!

Jennifer has not listened to Biden lately, obviously. Joe's elevator doesn't go to the top floor any more.

@mystery-ak

Is Jennifer Rubin insane? Biden is a freaking idiot savant. He can be taught to repeat words like a parrot,but he has no idea what most of them mean.  He does great as long as everyone stays on script and doesn't ask him any questions he hasn't rehearsed the answers to.

I'm kinda thinking there are some Republicans wetting their pants with joy at the very thought of asking him surprise questions once he is sworn in to testify.

If there has ever been such a thing as "low-hanging fruit" it is Goober Gore and Slow Joe.

[sneakypete]

This makes no sense whatsoever.

@skeeter

I have no doubt Slow Joe thinks he can talk his way out of the corner he is in,and the Dim movers and shakers are wetting their pants in fear at the mere thought of Slow Joe being questioned under oath on live tv by a prosecutor looking to make a rep for himself.

As for Rubin,she must be living in some alternate reality,where Biden is almost as smart as the typical Toy Poodle from a toy poodle farm.

No amount of "bombshell" leaks will change these four facts:

• Transcript shows no link between aid & investigations
• Ukraine didn't know aid was frozen at the time of the call
• Aid was released without new investigations
• Both @realDonaldTrump
 & Zelensky say no pressure

Herschmann just played video of @BarackObama
 asking Russia for more “flexibility” on missiles until after the 2012 election. He noted that under Democrats’ standard for “abuse of power,” they should have impeached Obama too. One rule for Democrats, one for Trump #ImpeachmentTrial

@libertybele

I am hoping Trump is taking notes on this,and planning on making them pay once he is sworn in for his second term. We are talking about charges that could lead to them all losing their broadcast licenses.

I doubt he would do it,though. We all know what a forgiving guy he is,right? Not to worry Dims,sleep tight. Everything is going to work out well for you.

[sneakypete]

@EdinVA

Or at least it seems that way. IF it happens,I fully expect Lady Lindsey to toss him softballs. He is most likely one of the smartest US Senators,but I have a feeling the Dims have some serious personal blackmail they can use to slap him into line if it seems he is getting out of control.

[sneakypete]

If they put him on the stand, if he is smart, ,,,,,

Who you gonna believe,Slow Joe live,or Slow Joe on video tape bragging about doing that very thing?

[sneakypete]

Matthew Dowd is also an idiot. He is calling on Slow Joe to testify because he has a better record than Trump and the people will see this. He is either an idiot,or just discovered he owned a new plump off-shore bank account.

How long before @realDonaldTrump
 says that he barely knows @AmbJohnBolton
 and never spoke to him in the White House? (@seanhannity
, get ready for that!)

How long before David Corn finally admits that he was the one who outed Valerie Plame as an "undercover" CIA agent?

The defense's last hour has been the most powerful presentation on either side in this trial.

President @realDonaldTrump
 had every right to look into corruption considering what was overlooked in the Obama administration and how thick the Bidens were involved.


He's referring to Pam Bondi's presentation

[Sighlass]

Just now watching Pam Bondi part of this, great message, but her delivery was cringeworthy. I just wanted to her to spit it out at times. Pretty and nice voice but public speaking is not her strong point.
